I have very modest aspirations for this year. Maybe four or five tomato plants, one hill each cucumber, zucchini and yellow summer squash. I was not able to garden at all last year so basically starting from scratch. Sprayed some roundup on this spot about ten days ago. Started to work it up today. It was hard to say the least. Had to spade it to let the tiller get deeper than an inch or two It's a good spot and has grown a lot of produce for us. This took about two hours and a tank and a half of tiller gas. Still too cold to put anything out that I'm doing this year. Maybe by this time next week. Anyway, here it is.

It got a little testy in here last night. Sometimes I care too much and let that get the better of me. But the good part is the PM traffic shows everything is all good with all concerned. Now I'm over it.😍

There can't be 8 ounces of meat on two turkey legs and two thighs! You guys are desperate for a little protein!

I mentioned on the card that it had been a rough year.

Did I ever tell you the story about how I sent my BIL a sample Christmas Card with no postage and his address for the return address? Works perfect.

I suspect how it might be. Not sorry for wanting this thread to live on nor for calling it how I see it.

I'll send it back if you want me to.

Fine. But still not everything is fine. I especially want respect for the owner of this site's guidelines. Paul Dallas can play by Phil's rules on Phil's site or expect me to report his posts from here on out. Not over it already.

Now I'm afraid to like this post.

80 20 for decent ground beef! To heck with the super lean!

You really are doing it wrong and not trying to be a know it all for you. The right way to cook wild turkey is as follows: Breast out the bird, no need to pluck, just skin it. Don't try to save any bloody meat. Pitch the rest unless you're one of those guys. With the breast meat, slice about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the slices length wise about 1/2 inch wide. Throw what amount you want to cook in some buttermilk, salt, pepper and if so inclined, a little hot sauce. Give it an hour or so in the buttermilk. Then get ready for a fish fry. Except it's gonna be turkey. Dredge the sliced marinated turkey in flour. Drop in 350 degree grease until light golden brown. Then tell me it's nasty.

Way to stay classy.

No joke it used to be a ten to thirty minute deal to walk up there and kill one. Not anymore.

Maybe. No. Just because something tastes bad doesn't mean someone who tastes it should be able to identify it. Right?

Could you please give the politics a break? We all know how you feel but this is not the right place. Plus you're violating Phil's language filter. Show some class.

Five years ago the pasture/wood lot out back was a regular thunder field. This year I'm only hearing one and he's a good distance.

He's said worse. Wait. That was wrench.

Plus I'm older than oneshot.

Good call. Just got in for lunch after a nice bike ride. They tell me it's mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

I've got two fake knees, two fake hips, two back repairs, one shoulder repair. Getting close to Steve Austin. Then good news is all those fixes seem to be working just fine. So you can do fine too.

I've long been a fan of split pea and ham soup. And when I get done with a long hard bike ride, few things taste better to me than some cockeyed peas.

Quite so old chap.

Anybody else ever see somebody launch a boat still tied to trailer? As in transom and bow? That was a sight. Sorry Mitch but it was a chinaman.

does it make any difference?

Tonight was disco night. Bee Gees and Abba. Forgive me Mr. Prine. I knew you well back in my days.
